Ozzy Osbourne on American epidemic of mass shootings: ‘I don’t want to die in America’

Ozzy Osbourne isn’t “Paranoid” but he is afraid.

The former Black Sabbath frontman, 73, told The Guardian in a new interview that he and wife Sharon are moving back home to England early next year and leaving America behind not because of his health issues — including depression, multiple surgeries, two staph infections, and Parkinson’s disease — but because the current state of the U.S. of A.

“Everything’s f—king ridiculous there,” Osbourne told the outlet. “I’m fed up with people getting killed every day. God knows how many people have been shot in school shootings. And there was that mass shooting in Vegas at that concert... It’s f—king crazy.”

Osbourne continued: “I don’t want to die in America. I don’t want to be buried in f—king Forest Lawn.”

He was referencing a Los Angeles cemetery that houses the remains of many celebrities.

“I’m English. I want to be back. But saying that, if my wife said we’ve got to go and live in Timbuktu, I’ll go,” he continued. “But, no, it’s just time for me to come home.”

Sharon Osbourne, the former “The Talk” co-host, 69, who starred alongside her husband on their family’s early aughts MTV reality show, “The Osbournes,” also told the paper: “It’s just time.

“America has changed so drastically,” she continued. “It isn’t the United States of America at all. Nothing’s united about it. It’s a very weird place to live right now.”

The family has had its own share of ups and downs in America of late.

Sharon Osbourne, for instance, was ousted at the CBS talk show last year following her defense of Piers Morgan after controversial remarks made about race, which left him in the cold at “Good Morning Britain.” Ozzy earlier this year also contracted COVID.
